Day 245

still feeling pretty gross today, and i had a heap of work to get thru.  the weather was good tho so i put a load of washing on first thing.  just as the machine was starting the rinse cycle it stopped going.....dang it.  we'd had this happen before, it was a hairpin stuck in outwater pipe.  so since we 'knew' what was wrong and how it was fixed last time, i decided to have a go myself.  actually wasn't that hard...just makes a lot of mess when the remaining water (having hand emptied the machine) sitting in the bottom of the barrel comes out.  problem this time - matches.  yes, well... an entire box of matches had gone thru the washing machine a few days previously.
so after sorting it, i started the machine again, got a few loads thru and it stopped again.   argh!  emptied it again....started it again, same thing.  so apparently there were a fair few matches in the box.....feck!
